Benyon straight in then! I can hear the Daggers supporters on BP! :unsure:

 

[Hazey]

Bright start, Benyons started well.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Already a bright start, particularly from Benyon. Prosser then in trouble at the back.

 

[Hazey]

Our defence is really shoddy at the moment, perhaps we could do with a new centre back and left back.

 

[WightShrimper]

I fear we will miss Daniels.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Daggers puting us an bit of pressure. Have to say that I don't feel enormously confident about our defence today...........and recently. Perhaps that's an area that needs strengthening during the transfer window? Didn't see Hazey's post before puting mine up!

 

[WightShrimper]

What's happened to our defence? A couple of months ago it was pretty rock solid.

 

[Hazey]

Maybe the fact nobody is really challenging Phillips and Barker for their place is making them a bit complacent, I think bringing in another centre back to challenge them properly would see an improvement straight away. Although saying that, I don't think the partnership of Barker and Phillips would be good enough for league 1, seeing as there isn't much pace there.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Happily Montana misses a great chance with his head following good work from Nurse. We seem to have gone to sleep for the last 20 mins. Suddenly dangerous free-kick for us from 35 yards out.......easy for their keeper to deal with.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Dangerous free-kick for us closer this time...............Grant............shot by Leonard from clever free-kick..deflected over. Corner comes to nothing.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN 1-0. Incredible strike from nowhere!!!

 

[PEEJ]

Timlin scores out of nothing. Sounds like a cracking goal

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Again dodgy defending with Barker heading across his own goal..........lucky to get away with it. Half-time in the lead........ whether or not we deserve it!

 

[WightShrimper]

Now let's hope that Luggy settles them in the break to set them up for a more dominant second half.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

7,564 .................765 from Daggers..........excellent attendance, let's hope that we can put on the style a bit in the second-half.

 

[WightShrimper]

Benyon seems to be having a good debut.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Dickinson blazes over from 12yds following very good work from Benyon............went for power rather than direction.....should have done better.
